So what you saying is incredibly stupid people earn enough to afford a premium vehicle? Or are the stupider than stupid the Opel drivers?

I'm saying that popularity does not necessarily indicate a good or bad product so judging a car or brand based on how many people buy it is pointless.

Case in point the ANC still gets majority vote every 4 years. Does that make them a good party or government?

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

It would be great if manufactures could collaborate on a single model as some entry level cars have done.

Imagine Audi and Opel? You'd get an awesome looking OPC with a cracker of engine and engineering to boot.

Right now, that's one thing lacking on the OPC... real underpinnings. It is a decent basic car, I guess

An Opel that doesnt try to torque steer you into a tree?!?!
Who ever heard of such a thing?

The Anc keeps winning do to the lack of a viable alternative.

It's like you can get a Kia, a Renault or an Opel. Obviously you going to go with the Kia. They the Anc of that trio of vehicles.

Audi is competing in North American, European and Asian markets where consumers can have their pick of any vehicle. And in these environments they showing amazing growth. The brand is going from strength to strength in a highly competitive market.

They fixed that 5 years ago, but yes, it was a major issue. Still even with that a Vectra could beat an A4. Premium means nothing without a rich history, and a badass 80s rally car does not quite cut it.

So we should ignore DTM and Le Mans series too then?

Audi does not have a 300SL, or an E-type. Hell, they don't even have anything to answer for on the sexy yet affordable '68 GT.

You joking right? You never heard of the Auto Union Silver Arrows?

Gees, they set a public road land speed record in 1934 that's yet to be broken! 432kmh!! What's Opel going to build in 2014 that will set a record that will still stand in 2094?

Legendary my friend!! This classic will run rings around a GT...

What does Audi lack? No letters M, E, R, C, E, D, E, S, B, E, N or Z..
